Shia LaBeouf Pleads Guilty to Battery Charges Over Mardi Gras Bar Fight

Published by Daniella Wilson

Shia LaBeouf has pleaded guilty to charges relating to an altercation during an extended Mardi Gras bar crawl that erupted into violence. During an arraignment on Wednesday, magistrate Judge Juana Lombard issued LaBeouf a six-month suspended sentence with two years’ probation. He must also receive rehabilitation for alcohol abuse, sensitivity training and anger management classes. The actor was charged with three counts of battery for fighting two men involved in ejecting him from a bar, where he was allegedly causing a disturbance and displaying violent aggression. One of the alleged victims later characterized the confrontation as a hate crime because he was called a homophobic slur, though the court declined to add additional charges. In a statement, Sarah Chervinksy, a lawyer for LaBeouf, said the incident was “nothing more than a minor Mardi Gras bar tussle.” “There is no evidence it was about bias or prejudice, which is why the state only charged these low-level misdemeanors,” she added. “Mr. LaBeouf came to court today wanting to take accountability for his part in what happened, and …

FKA twigs sues ex-boyfriend Shia LaBeouf over ‘unlawful’ NDA

Published by Sam Flores

Singer-songwriter FKA twigs is suing her ex-boyfriend, actor Shia LaBeouf, claiming that he is trying to “silence” her from speaking out against sexual abuse through the use of an “unlawful” nondisclosure agreement. The complaint, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Wednesday, seeks a court order to prohibit LeBeouf from enforcing sections of an NDA which Tahliah Barnett — the Grammy Award-winning singer’s legal name — says violates California law. “Shia LaBeouf has tried to control Tahliah Barnett for the better part of a decade,” the filing states. “This action was taken in response to Mr. LaBeouf’s attempt to bully and intimidate twigs through a frivolous and unlawful secret arbitration he filed against her in December in which he sought to extract money from her,” said the singer’s attorney Mathew Rosengart, national co-chair of media & entertainment litigation at Greenberg Traurig in Century City, in a statement. Rosengart added that twigs “refuses to be bullied anymore. She is instead standing up for herself and other survivors of sexual abuse who have improperly been silenced. This …

Shia LaBeouf has been arrested again in New Orleans. According to Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office records, LaBeouf was taken into custody Saturday and charged with one additional misdemeanor count of simple battery. The Transformers star’s attorney, Sarah Chervinsky, said that after learning New Orleans police had issued a new arrest warrant Friday, LaBeouf voluntarily turned himself in to the Orleans Parish jail, according to the Associated Press. “No regular person would be required to post over $100,000 in bonds and be jailed two separate times for one misdemeanor incident,” Chervinsky said. “Just as he does not deserve preferential treatment, Mr. LaBeouf also does not deserve to be treated more harshly by the police and courts just because he is a public figure.” The legal trouble began during Mardi Gras earlier this month. LaBeouf was arrested Feb. 17 following an altercation at R Bar in the Faubourg Marigny. Authorities said he became aggressive and allegedly fought with two men, both of whom told police he assaulted them. LaBeouf is accused of punching one bartender multiple times …
